The starting material, 1,9-nonanediol found in signmaaldrich.com, was treated with HBr as a reagent and resulted in
1-Bromo-1-tetradecyne. One of the -OH groups was substituted with Br.The molecule was then treated with dihydropyran, the alkene in the ring broke to form a bond on to the oxygen of the 1-Bromo-1-tetradecyne, and Br acted as a leaving group with an alkyne come in its place. Then the molecule was reacted through Jones Oxidation to result in a carboxylic acid group on the end of the molecule. In the second to last step the molecule was treated to with alcohol and H-O-CH3. Finally in a Base and SuBr the two long chains were brought together and produced pentacosa-10,12-diynoic acid.

This looks like a workable synthesis. You just need to finish the description with references.

This is a nice synthesis and description. You just need to add references and you are done.
